Le Moyne Again Recognized by U.S. News & World Report

For the 17th year in a row, Le Moyne College has been ranked by U.S. News & World Report as one of America’s "Best Colleges" based on its academic quality.

According to the 2009 issue of "America's Best Colleges" guidebook, Le Moyne College placed #19 for "Best College" in the North Universities-Master's category. The College was rated on its academic reputation, retention, faculty resources, student selectivity, financial resources and alumni giving.

Dr. Dennis DePerro, vice president for enrollment management, said there are many reasons for Le Moyne's consistent success in the rankings. "As a College, we make a concerted effort year after year to improve many aspects of a Le Moyne education. Our quality academic programs, impressive faculty, and upgraded facilities, as well as our ability to keep our costs affordable, all factor into what makes us so successful. And there is a need, more than ever, for a values-based education that provides Le Moyne students with the solid grounding that will serve them well for the rest of their lives in their personal and professional endeavors."

ThinkProgress.org includes Le Moyne as one of 11 institutions across the country that "...are taking concrete steps to amend their policies, expand their training programs, and let new students know they want to improve" as it relates to sexual assaults.
